CIMPLICITY Data Types vs. Historian Data Types

CIMPLICITY ensures that the data type in Historian is long enough to accommodate the CIMPLICITY data type length.

Data type mapping is as follows.


Data Type	CIMPLICITY	Historian
Integer	DINT	Double integer
	INT	Double integer
	REAL	Double float
	SINT	Double integer
	UDINT	Double float
	UINT	Double integer
	USINT	Double integer
Boolean	BOOL	Integer
	BYTE	Double integer
	DWORD	Double integer
	WORD	Double integer
Text	STRING	Variable string
	STRING_20	Variable string
	STRING_8	Variable string
	STRING_80	Variable string

CAUTION: You can change the data type in Historian. However, if you checked Overwrite on the Historian tab in the CIMPLICITY Project Properties dialog box,
